| Yeah, what I’mma do right here is take my time
|
| And dedicating this one to my niggas resting in peace
|
| And my niggas behind the wall
|
| See you when I get there, you know what I’m saying? |
| (really doe)
|
| So drip with me as I go down memory lane
|
| Boy it’s a loony where the grass is greener
|
| (1−8-7 ain’t shit but a misdemeanor)
|
| I’ve seen a lot of niggas come up, but few niggas done up
|
| Some rest in peace, with their khakis heavy squeezed
|
| But it’s a East Side thang, a hoo ride thang
|
| (cause if we bang to the boogie than we boogie to the bang)
|
| I bring you the motherfucking .38
|
| (just get the MC and the homie Nate)
|
| So we can slide, slide, slippity slide
|
| As I take you on a trip nigga ride (East Side)
|
| Nate (Daz):
|
| Do you remember back on the East Side?
|
| Where all us niggas used to love to ride
|
| We didn’t care what we did
|
| Time was nothing to us we were just kids
|
| Times are different now, but you still get stuck
|
| I’m not a kid no more, I just don’t give a fuck
|
| So if you’re thinking about coming and stepping to me
|
| Keep this in mind: I’m a motherfucking O. G
|
| Snoop:
|
| Lets speed the clock up and pass some time
|
| June 17th, 1979
|
| That’s my first time being arrested
|
| I know I did the crime, but I ain’t going to confess to this shit
|
| I learned that from the G’s
|
| A G is an overseer, the overseer sees
|
| More than you do cause he gets experienced
|
| And besides I’m just a juvenile delinquent
|
| So I was gone, and I’m on my way home
|
| My momma’s coming to scoop me in a fleetwood brougham
|
| She puts a jacket on my back and hands me a comb
|
| We stop at frosty freeze for a couple snowcones
|
| She telling me that I didn’t need to do what I done
|
| She said: «playing football should be your only fun son»
|
| I’m like «allright» so we enter the house
|
| I mobbed through the door and pops fired to the mouth
|
| I couldn’t do nothing but cry like a bitch
|
| I looked at my momma and said: «damn, why you snitch?»
|
| They put me on punishment but that didn’t work
|
| Now wearing khakis, wallabees, and a T-shirt (whattup cuz)
|
| And throwing up the neighborhood gang sides
|
| I do my first robbery and now I gotta do time
|
| Nate:
|
| My homie told me one day he had a jack move
|
| He said: «come on Nate Dogg, it’ll be smooth»
|
| I agreed and said «come on, let’s go and jack them fools»
|
| Next day we were draped in the county blues
|
| I went and did a little time in the bucket see (seventeen years)
|
| Saying to myself «I'll never fuck with that nigga again»
|
| 'fore I’m locked down I learned to be
|
| What I am now and that’s a motherfucking O. G
|
| Original gangsta
|
| Daz:
|
| I grew up in the city as a child, faced the trials
|
| Never smiled, became a gangster in the meanwhile
|
| You’d find me swearing and lying, trying to be an O.G.,
|
| Beating the shit out of niggas for Guess and Hillfigers
|
| The man behind the trigger, committing robberies
|
| With the homies, no one could stop, nobody knew me
|
| Gankin' niggas for show, sucker niggas better know me
|
| Because we ain’t letting the bullshit slide no more
|
| Do you in nigga and kick in your front door
|
| To let you know we can’t take no more
|
| Feeling revenge, killing enemies, family and friends
|
| And let you pay the cost for my homie’s life, it’s lost
|
| Toss a coin in the air, run my fingers through my hair
|
| And ask myself: «who the fuck should I really fear?»
|
| I ran around with the best killers
|
| Thug criminals and drug dealers
|
| Blasting niggas if they come near us
|
| (???) with evil spirits, no one could help us if we could
|
| Knock on wood for good luck
|
| Serve every nigga in your hood with a buck, now you’ve been struck
|
| Stood gangsta in a static gangsta mack
|
| A grown child laying niggas the fuck down
|
| Nate (Daz):
|
| Original gangsta (original gangsta)
|
| Coming from Long Beach (the town by the sea where niggas know me)
|
| Coming from the East Side…
|
| You’re fucking with The Pound, oh nigga please
|
| C-O-B.'s can’t see the D-O-double G’s,
|
| Shout outs to my nigga Mr. D-A-Z
|
| Shout outs to my nigga Mr. Warren G
|
| Shout outs to my nigga S-N-double O-P
|
| Shout outs to my niggas C-Style and me
|
| Snoop (Nate):
|
| Yeah, straight up, based on a true story
|
| You know what I’m saying? |
| It’s a G thang baby (original gangsta)
|
| You trick ass bitch! |
